A Texas Vioxx injury lawyer can help

If you are searching fora Texas Vioxx injury lawyer because of suffering serious Vioxx side effects, contact Jim S. Adler & Associates.

Used to reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, to manage pain in adults and to treat menstrual pain, Vioxx was supposed to be a new and improved version of previous similar painkillers. Vioxx manufacturers claimed that Vioxx was preferable to other medications because the new formula allegedly reduced the risk of stomach ulcers.

What they failed to mention, however, was the increased risk of other severe side effects. Patients who are prescribed Vioxx are made aware of the benefits of this drug, but what they may not know is that their risk of heart attack quadruples over other pain medications.

Vioxx may cause heart attacks

Manufactured by Merck and Co., Inc., Vioxx is now a highly controversial drug and the subject of a number of lawsuits.

Those taking Vioxx may experience heightened risk of conditions including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, stomach & GI problems, liver problems, asthma complications, and many others.
